Cobblemonster 2024

What time are you going past wells park?
I can try and bang pots etc

Out, sadly, I've got some kind of food poisoning. Have a good ride, all.

There at 9.30, don't wait if you are there at 9!

Aaargh, just spotted this. Too late for this year but definitely next year. Have a great one and give my love to Canonbie

We ended up in a wine bar after Underworld and then bumped into some mates so it was a late one. Didn't get out of bed til after 9am. Now trying to convince the missus that heading to Herne Hill to watch the P-R is still a good idea. Wish me luck.

hope everyone is doing well

it's pretty windy

Nice one all.

I've got the route so I'll ride it in my own time but thanks for the rest of the organisation and volunteers. You got a donation and I got some Roubaix watching in and got out of the house so that's the main thing.

Great pics! I might steal the first one for the Thank You email if that's ok.

And thank you for the very generous donation!

We raised over £3500 which is amazing considering we didn't have a raffle this year. Hopefully just a one-off.

I am very tired. Peace and love to you all.

Sure go for it (you want the original, bigger version?). Happy to help. I know I didn't even make the ride (getting old and lazy sucks) but I do appreciate the effort you put into this and I've got the route so might drag the missus around when we have a spare Sunday.

Ah yeah sweet, I'll dm ya.

That's the beauty of it, you can do it any time :)

Nice pics, disappointed I couldn’t make it this year. The rave after the P-R screening is an exciting development!

Argh no. I DM'd a few people including Oaty so that's my bad. Next year!

This was another excellent edition. Storm Kathleen added to the classics feeling.

Thanks @notoriousBMT for all your work. I loved it. My whole group loved it. They included a few first timers.

The velodrome laps are a fun finish and the P-R screening and decent tinnies and banging veggie curry. Nice to see a few other forum faces.
Really a wonderful day.

was nice to see @JAH-tim and @OneLessCardigan
this was my "get back on the horse" ride, as last year was when my atrial fibrillation first reared it's ugly head & I only got a few yards up Canonbie, then struggled to walk it! pleased to say the heart ablation op has done it's work & Canonbie was summited, though still a struggle.

Another great day out on the bike. Did this with a big representation of Bigfoot riders (the most I have seen from my club). Lots of first timers who all enjoyed it.

It doesn't matter how many times I do it but Canonbie still is a tough one.

Did notice over the year the style of bike has changed completely with some many now on gravel bikes......

Thank you to all who organised this

I saw a load of bigfoot riders as they were going along Wells Park.
I hope my motivational shouting was motivational.

good to see you at various points Ian including summitting Canonbie. Pics so it did happen.
